A scientist with one of the largest providers "of
life sciences solutions to researchers worldwide" will speak to TVHS
students on March 10 in recognition of Biotechnology Month.

Jaime Rusconie will discuss what Taconic Farms does -
among other things it raises millions of mice used for testing by
scientists worldwide, and then she will lead students on a DNA
experiment. During the experiment, students will actually gather DNA
samples from their cheek that will then be tested.

She will also lead students on a tour of the
Taconic Farms labs, which are located in the same building as Tech
Valley High School.

The two-hour session, which begins at 8:30 at
TVHS, will culminate with a question- and answer- session.
